Don’t Mess With Texas …

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — To some Oklahoma football fans, there are things that just aren’t done in the heart of Sooner Nation, and one of them is to walk into a bar wearing a Texas Longhorns T-shirt.

That’s exactly what touched off a bloody skirmish that left a Texas-shirt-wearing fan nearly castrated and an Oklahoma fan facing aggravated assault charges that could put him in prison for up to five years.

The shocking case has set off a raging debate in this football-crazed region about the extreme passions behind a bitter rivalry. Some legal observers have even questioned whether this case could ever truly have an impartial jury.

“I’ve actually heard callers on talk radio say that this guy deserved what he got for wearing a Texas T-shirt into a bar in the middle of Sooner country,” said Irven Box, an attorney in this city 20 miles from Oklahoma’s campus in Norman.

According to police, 32-year-old Texas fan Brian Christopher Thomas walked into Henry Hudson’s Pub on June 17 wearing a Longhorns T-shirt and quickly became the focus of football “trash talk” from another regular, 53-year-old Oklahoma fan Allen Michael Beckett.

Thomas told police that when he decided to leave and went to the bar to pay his tab, Beckett grabbed him in the crotch, pulled him to the ground and wouldn’t let go, even as bar patrons tried to break it up. When the two men were separated, Thomas looked down and realized the extent of his injuries.

“He could see both of his testicles hanging on the outside of his body,” said Thomas’ attorney, Carl Hughes. “He was wearing a pair of white shorts, which made it that much worse.“

I could have told you this part was coming, even without reading the whole article:

Like Beckett and Thomas, many fans of the two college squads never attended either university, but have come to identify so closely with these teams that they attach banners to their cars, wear team colors on game day and even have programmed their car horns to play school fight songs.

Basically, two idiots in a bar started arguing about the the college football teams (schools neither attended … I’m betting they didn’t go to Harvard and Yale either) and one guy almost ended up with his balls cut off.

‘I feel absolutely terrible’

I can’t even write about that girl who was kidnapped and tortured because I know I’ll go off the deep end, which is what I did when I saw the mugshots of those 6 inbred hillbillies. But I can’t hold their social status responsible when you have crimes like this one:

MINEOLA, N.Y. - A resident of an exclusive gated community has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the slaying of a neighbor whose head was found in the trunk of his car.

Evan Marshall, 32, a bedding salesman, entered the plea Wednesday to murder, assault and other charges about a week before jury selection was to begin in his trial.

Marshall was arrested a year ago in the death of retired schoolteacher Denice Fox, his neighbor in Glen Cove on Long Island.

He made a deal and will only get 30 years instead of life.

“I know it does little but I want to apologize to all the families involved,” Marshall said in court, reading from a statement. “I feel absolutely terrible.”

I’m sure you do.

He’ll get out, as will this rapist who’s gonna walk out early, albeit with some trouble:

“You understand that this procedure is the removal of your testicles?” Overstreet asked Allen.

Allen said he wanted to be castrated, The News Herald reported Tuesday.
